SHESHANNA BHUMANNA YADAV vs STATE OF MAHARASHTRA

The Supreme Court held that corroboration of an accomplice's evidence is essential under Sections 133 and 114 of the Indian Evidence Act. The Court established that corroborative evidence must not only confirm the truth of the accomplice's testimony but also implicate the accused in material particulars. The convictions of the father and son for murder and theft were upheld based on sufficient corroborative evidence linking them to the crime, including eyewitness accounts and recovered stolen items.
